OH YEAH - those movies definitely creeped me out as a kid! And that uh... Chicken Run movie! That one REALLY scared me. O.O
Never watched Corpse Bride but the parts I’ve seen still make me slightly uneasy tbh??

Omg I feel this with all condiments. If someone tries to squirt out some ketchup/mustard/whatever and that nasty water comes out I will literally gag. It disgusts me. I have a whole process I have to go through to avoid that stuff before I can use any condiments

Automatic toilets

stop laughing cause i can hear it ok listen

When I was little I went to a hardware store with my dad
I had to go to the bathroom so I did
This toilet decides to flush on me while I'm still using it.

Needless to say, given the fact I was really little, the super loud noise combined with the fact it scared me senseless, and the fact I ended up falling in was enough to make me get on edge every time I had to use an automatic toilet.

Even to this day I still get a bit anxious.

I was scared of watching movies, idk why. I'd always refuse to watch movies at daycare and at home so I don't really have any early-childhood favorites when it comes to movies. I was always tense that something really scary would happen in a movie without warning, so watching them stressed me out and made me scared. I didn't really like movies until I was 6, and one of my favorite first movies I saw was Ghostbusters.

Here are some I can remember:
-The opening to the show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". I would always change the channel if it was coming on! Definitely not scared now since I've actually watched a few episodes of it.
-The desktop background on our old computer. I remember being so scared that I would go hide in my parents' closet, lol. I have no idea why this was and I think it was a musician my mom liked?
-Piglet. Specifically, Piglet on my Disney storybook CD-ROM game. Only that Piglet. I have recently learned the disc still works, so I found out why I was so scared... Every time Piglet speaks, background music plays. The music stops when Piglet does and starts again when he says his next line. Something feels eerie about it.
-The "static" screen from our old TV. Whenever something was done wrong (Such as touch the channel button on it instead of the cable remote), the TV would show nothing but static and make a loud, horrible sound. I'm technically still afraid of this, but we got rid of our old TV and the new HD one has nothing like that.
